[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

OH, and I should note that the newer USBInjectAll works perfectly when I boot into Catalina. Although I don't use Catalina much, it's handy to test scenarios like this. I expect there will be more incompatibilities/oddities/headaches as Mojave gets older and older. (At some point all my apps will be 64bit and this madness can end!)

USBInjectAll newer than 0.73 have issues with Mojave because this:

"The issue is that the kext built by @Sniki has been built with a newer SDK and thus won't load on older macOS versions due to incompatible binaries ...."
 
It would be best to physically remove it.

I tried to install one more time to see detailed info about this panic and that's what I've got:

*** Panic Report ***
panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff7f8dc05b30): nvme: "Fatal error occurred. CSTS=0xffffffff US[1]=0x0 US[0]=0xd VID/DID=0x2263126f
. FW Revision=R1115A0\n"@/BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/IONVMeFamily/IONVMeFamily-387.270.1/IONVMeController.cpp:5334

Are there any recommendations for such cases?

This suggests a problem with the NVMe SSD. Try removing NVMeFix.kext from CLOVER/Kexts/Other.
 
Just wanted to share with you guys that I upgraded OpenCore successfully from 0.6.1 to 0.6.2 (release build) and Big Sur to the latest version (20A5384c). No issues so far and it seems stable (I left it running for 2 days and the other night) while using it during those days).

PS: I used OpenCore Configurator during the upgrade process, I know a lot of people have something against that, but it's being regular updated by the devs and works with the latest builds (incl. beta builds on 0.6.3).

@Lkevin30,

Please note that every mini-guide in this thread contains the line:
  • Please do not quote this guide in its entirety. Post a link instead.
BIOS configuration is in Post #1 where it has always been.
when dismasting the USB key I click on eMate to install catalina and I just see the black screen with the apple logo how activated the verbose mode to display the coding to see what is happening I stay on the apple logo.
 
Radeon boost and other Radeon kexts do device property injection. WEG can force load the falcon SMU firmware as described in the docs:


It can also be done directly in Opencore without using any kexts. This is what I'm using for Radeon VII including my own powerplay table in Opencore that provides the same performance as the RB kext. "Radeon VII PowerPlay Table Generator" can't be linked here but its googleable if you want to roll your own.

Thanks for all the info and detail.
 
I removed NVMeFix.kext, but the panic still persists.
When I removed my nvme driver physically, the pre-installer successfully loaded to the install menu.
This confirms our earlier suspicion that WD SN750 NVMe SSD is not compatible -- or the firmware on your particular copy is not compatible. Recommended alternatives are:
  • Sabrent Rocket
  • ADATA SX 8200 and SX 8200 Pro
  • Silicon Power (any model)
The ones to avoid:
  • SK Hynix P31 Gold
  • WD SN750 (some firmware versions may be okay)
  • Samsung 970 series (because of higher heat)
 
when dismasting the USB key I click on eMate to install catalina and I just see the black screen with the apple logo how activated the verbose mode to display the coding to see what is happening I stay on the apple logo.
If you're using OpenCore, please see Tech Talk --> Explanation of Selected OpenCore Parameters. Spend a moment to review all screenshots inside the spoiler. One of them has the answer to your question. The gallery is for the Z490 Vision D, but it is still educational for Z390 Designare. The procedure to enable verbose mode is the same for all motherboards.

If you're using Clover, see Spoiler: Guide to modifying config.plist for USB install disk in Post #1.

Thank you! I will try to go with SX 8200 Pro.
